Oct 27, 2005 — WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald does not plan to act in the CIA leak case on Thursday, a spokesman said, setting the stage for the prosecutor to make a last-minute announcement on indictments before the grand jury expires on Friday.

"There are no announcements expected today," said Randall Samborn, Fitzgerald's spokesman.

Fitzgerald has zeroed in on Lewis Libby, chief of staff for Vice President Dick Cheney, and Karl Rove, President George W. Bush's top political adviser. Both have been advised that they could face charges over the leak of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity, lawyers in the case said.

This could only mean he's expanding the investigation and will extend the GJ.

It could certainly mean other things. It would be nice, however, if there was an extension to further investigate the role of VP Cheney.

Perhaps he will hand down aone set of indictments and empanel a new GJ to look into the run up to war. Pure speculation, and I don't know if he can continue with this group after handing down indictments or will need a new one. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when he met with Judge Hogan yesterday.

announce they have reached plea agreements if they come.

Did anyone ask Samborn how long the lease is on Fitzgeralds new offices at 1401?

"Other current and former administration officials may also be charges, the lawyers said."

Boulton and the whole White House Iraqi Group?

I kept having dreams about this all weak and the WHIG kept popping out at me. Dunno what it means, but I can hope.

That would be a bigger story, don't you think?
